Thomas Edison was a famous American scientist. When he was a child, he liked to find out how things worked.
One day when he was five years old, his father found him sitting on the eggs. His father was surprised and asked why he did so. He said that since a hen could hatch eggs, why he couldn’t.
Edison stayed in school for only three months. He asked his teacher a lot of strange questions. Most of his questions had nothing to do with his lesson. The teacher thought that the boy was not bright and was not worth teaching. When the teacher told this to Edison’s mother, she took her son out of school. She taught him herself. The boy read a lot. Soon he became interested in science. At the age of ten, Edison built a chemistry lab for himself. Ever since then, he never stopped finding for new and better ways to do things. Later, he became a great scientist.
Think and complete the following question:
1.Was Edison a clever boy? Why?
2.Are you interested in science?

托马斯·爱迪生是美国一位著名的科学家。当他还是个孩子时，他就喜欢研究事物是如何运作的。
在他五岁时的一天，他的父亲发现他坐在鸡蛋上。父亲很奇怪，问他为什么这样做。他说既然母鸡能孵出小鸡，为什么他不能？
爱迪生只在学校里呆了三个月。他问了老师许多奇怪的问题。大部分问题都与功课没什么关系。老师认为这个男孩不聪明，不值得教。当老师把这一情况告诉爱迪生的母亲时，母亲把他带出了学校。她亲自教他。他读了很多书，后来开始对科学感兴趣。十岁时，爱迪生给自己建了一个化学实验室。从那时候起，他就从来没有停止过寻找新的更好的做事方法。后来，他成了一名伟大的科学家。
